Good news that it is sorted out for you. With my old single cylinder CD 8hp engine I too forgot to turn the fuel tap on and it got air in the system. I was lucky in the fact that this engine has a decompression lever which also can be engaged for high or low compression running so I simply cracked the fuel line at the injector and slowly hand cranked the engine over until no air came out. Tighten it up and 3 more swings and drop the lever and away it went.
Sometimes it is a case of starting at the fuel tank and work your way along the fuel system and it should be all good. The SR2 in our dumpy was a simple air bleed after replacing the fuel filter as the fuel tank sits above the engine. It is almost a self bleed using gravity to remove the air. As I never turned the engine over once I had the old filter out the fuel line to the racks and injectors was full of fuel and the very small amount of air there was not noticed when it was re started.
